there Hogue is stated to be an old word signifying
a " mound or tumulus," and a port in Normandy,
the name of the place being " Hoga, Hogo, or Oga,
Ogo," thus removing the aspirate " h," and leaving
the name, as our Tiish authorities have done, when
stating that the nunnery of St. Mary del Hogges
was so called from the Irish word " Ogh, a Virgin."
We might rely on this evidence as conclusive
against the derivation heretofore given for St. Mary

Hoggen
for the
Saxon plural became Hoggen
(as oxen, hosen, &c.), hence
" Hoggen Green." Reconverted
into modern English it became
" Hog's Green," as in the follow-
ing order of the year 1615: " Ordered
that the Provost and Fellows
of Trinity College, Dublin, shall
have the precinct of a house called
Bridewell, upon Hog's Green, at
y' rent of 2 shillings, to be converted
by them to a Free School
only." Easter Assembly, 1615,
City Records. The memory of
the origin of Hoggen Green
being lost it became " Hogan's
Green " : Thus the City having
demised (6 November, 1764) a
lot of ground near Hogan's Green,
for three lives renewable for ever,
to Garret Earl of Mornington,
the said Garret (13 May, 1766)
sold his interest to Peter Wilson,
bookseller, (Registry of Deeds).

to be made to Jacob Xcwman of
a lot near the end of Hog-lane.
